Description

  The present invention relates to a drawer and a dressing table cabinet, and more particularly to a resin drawer and a dressing table cabinet provided with the drawer.

  For example, as disclosed in JP-A-2015-123204 (Patent Document 1), a drawer having a complicated shape such as a drawer for a dressing table cabinet is formed of resin.

JP-A-2015-123204

  However, since the drawer formed of resin is lightweight, the user may have an impression that lacks a profound feeling and a high-class feeling. In particular, when it is attached to a high-grade dressing table cabinet or the like, it may be unbalanced with the dressing table cabinet or may give the impression that the dressing table cabinet lacks luxury.

  An object of one aspect of the present invention is to provide a drawer having a solid feeling and a high-class feeling, and a dressing table cabinet on which the drawer is mounted.

According to one embodiment, the drawer is a drawer formed of a resin, and is separated from the front plate in the drawer direction perpendicular to the width direction by a predetermined distance from the front plate extending in the width direction of the drawer, the bottom plate, and the drawer. And a weight plate made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of the resin.
A weight member made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of resin such as metal is incorporated in the drawer formed of resin, so that weight is given to the drawer. Since the weight is given by the weight member, more force is required for the pulling operation than when the weight member is not incorporated. As a result, even if it is a resin-made light drawer, the feeling of weight at the time of operation increases. Moreover, the sound quality of the sound during the drawer operation is lowered. For this reason, it exhibits the same operational feeling as a drawer made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of a resin such as metal. As a result, even if it is a resin-made light drawer, the profound feeling of a drawer and a high-class feeling increase.

Preferably, the drawer has a storage space for storing the weight member on the back side of the bottom plate.
By installing the weight member in such a storage space, it is possible to prevent the weight member from dropping and to prevent small items from falling into the storage space. In addition, the cleanability inside the drawer can be improved.

Preferably, the weight member is disposed at a position where the center of gravity is the center in the width direction or substantially the center.
Thereby, the balance of the width direction at the time of operation of a drawer is maintained, and operativity can be improved.

Preferably, the weight member is disposed closer to the front side than the center in the pull-out direction.
Thereby, it can prevent colliding with the member etc. which are lifted at the time of operation of drawer and are located directly above. As a result, the operability of the drawer can be improved.

Preferably, the drawer is disposed in a wash cabinet in which the wash bowl is placed on the upper surface, and is located directly below the wash bowl mounting base, and the front side portion of the wash bowl placed on the mount base is disposed on the drawer. It is a curtain plate storage type that is disposed in the space between the curtain plate and the front side of the wash bowl, with the covering curtain plate as the front plate.
Since the gap between the curtain plate and the mounting table directly above is usually narrow, if a slide-type drawer with the curtain plate as the front plate is provided, there is a high possibility of interference with the mounting table during loading and unloading. On the other hand, since the weight member is built in the drawer, it becomes easy to pull out straight and push it in the front direction. As a result, interference between the drawer and the mounting base is prevented, and the operability of the drawer can be improved.

Preferably, the drawer is partitioned into a plurality of small spaces in the width direction by a partition plate, and the weight member includes a plurality of weight plates arranged in each of the plurality of small spaces.
By providing the partition plate, the strength, particularly the strength against the forward pulling and the backward pushing, is reinforced. Further, since the weight member is composed of a plurality of weight plates, the weight member can be easily disposed at a position where the center of gravity is at the center or substantially the center in the width direction.

According to another embodiment, the dressing table cabinet includes a washbasin mounting base, a curtain positioned directly below the mounting base and covering the front side of the wash bowl mounted on the mounting base, and the front of the curtain. And a drawer as described above.
Since the gap between the curtain plate and the mounting table directly above is usually narrow, if a slide-type drawer with the curtain plate as the front plate is provided, there is a high possibility of interference with the mounting table during loading and unloading. On the other hand, since the weight member is built in the drawer, it becomes easy to pull out straight and push it in the front direction. As a result, interference between the drawer and the mounting base is prevented, and the operability of the drawer can be improved.
Also, the drawer made of resin has a built-in weight member made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of resin such as metal, so that the weight is given to the drawer, and the drawer is operated more than when the weight member is not built in. More power is required. As a result, even if it is a resin-made light drawer, the feeling of weight at the time of operation increases. Moreover, the sound quality of the sound during the drawer operation is lowered. For this reason, it exhibits the same operational feeling as a drawer made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of a resin such as metal. As a result, even if it is a light drawer made of resin, the profound feeling and luxury of the drawer are increased, and the quality and luxury of the entire dressing table cabinet are not affected and the quality of the dressing table cabinet is not impaired.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sliding drawer made of resin and having a heavy feeling and a high-class feeling. In addition, by providing such a drawer in the dressing table cabinet, the dressing table cabinet fits in with the profound feeling and luxury, and does not impair the quality of the dressing table cabinet.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts and components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, these descriptions will not be repeated.

[Description of drawer and vanity cabinet]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dressing table cabinet (hereinafter, cabinet) 300 provided with a drawer 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the drawer 100 according to the present embodiment.
The drawer 100 according to the present embodiment is a slide-type drawer that is formed of resin and can be pulled out to the front side. As an example, the drawer 100 is attached to the cabinet 300 as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 1, cabinet 300 includes a wash cabinet 301 and a mirror cabinet 303 positioned above wash bowl 305. The upper surface of the wash cabinet 301 constitutes a mounting base 31 for the wash bowl 305, on which the wash bowl 305 is mounted and attached.

  A storage portion 32 is formed on the lower side of the mounting base 31, and one or more drawers 33 are attached to the opened front surface. Immediately below the mounting base 31 is provided a curtain plate 101 which is a decorative plate extending in the width direction and covering the front side portion of the wash bowl 305 mounted on the mounting base 31. The curtain 101 is a member that covers the front side of the wash bowl 305 from the front so that the gap G with the mount 31 is extremely small. The gap G is, for example, about 2 mm to 5 mm.

  Referring to FIG. 2, as an example, bowl portion 35 has a gently curved shape from the front edge portion toward the bottom portion. In this case, a space is generated between the front side portion of the bowl portion 35 and the curtain plate 101. As an example, the drawer 100 is a curtain plate storage type in which the curtain 101 is a front plate for using the space as a storage space. Note that the sliding drawer with the curtain plate 101 as the front plate is an example of the drawer 100, and the drawer 100 may be a general sliding drawer such as the drawer 33 of FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the drawer 100 and is a perspective view in a state where the drawer 100 is pulled out from the cabinet 300. Referring to FIG. 3, drawer 100 has curtain plate 101 as a front plate, bottom plate 12, back plate 15 erected at a predetermined distance from curtain plate 101, and an upward opening constituted by these. And a long groove-shaped storage portion 10. The drawer 100 is provided in the cabinet 300 so that the storage unit 10 fits in a space between the front side of the bowl unit 35 and the curtain plate 101. In the following description, the direction in which the drawer 100 provided in the cabinet 300 is pulled out is referred to as the front, the direction in which the drawer is pushed in is referred to as the rear, and the front and the rear are also referred to as the pull-out direction. A direction orthogonal to the pulling direction is also referred to as a width direction.

  A partition plate 11 extending in the pull-out direction is provided in the storage unit 10. As an example, the partition plate 11 includes a left partition plate 11L and a right partition plate 11R that are arranged at positions that divide the width direction of the drawer 100 into approximately three equal parts. Thereby, the storage part 10 is divided into approximately three equal parts in the width direction, and is composed of a left storage part 10A, a central storage part 10B, and a right storage part 10C, which are small spaces. The bottom plate 12 includes a left bottom plate 12A, a central bottom plate 12B, and a right bottom plate 12C corresponding to each storage unit. By providing the partition plate 11, strength, particularly strength against pulling forward and pushing backward, is reinforced.

  Guide members 16 each having a roller R are provided on both sides of the drawer 100 so as to be received from the front side to the rear side. A rail member (not shown) is attached to the inner wall of the storage portion 32. Thus, the drawer 100 is slidable back and forth as the guide member 16 is guided by the rail member. The length L from the curtain plate 101 to the roller R provided at the rear end of the guide member 16 is the maximum length at which the drawer 100 can be pulled out.

  FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the drawer 100 and is an exploded view of the bottom of the drawer 100. 5 is an end view at the BB position in FIG. 4 and 5, a pocket 14 extending in the width direction is formed on the back surface side of the bottom plate 12, and a weight member 13 is provided in the pocket 14. The pocket 14 is a storage space for storing the weight member 13. By installing the weight member 13 in the pocket 14, it is possible to prevent the weight member 13 from falling when the drawer 100 is operated.

  The weight member 13 is made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of the resin. The weight member 13 is made of metal, for example. By incorporating such a weight member 13, weight is given to the drawer 100.

  As an example, the weight member 13 includes a plurality of weight plates 13A to 13C having the same shape. FIG. 6 is a view showing a specific example of one weight plate constituting the weight member 13. In the pocket 14, a weight member 13 which is one or a plurality of weight plates is provided, and the bottom plate 12 is placed on the upper side thereof. For this reason, the weight member 13 and the pocket 14 in which the weight member 13 is provided are covered with the bottom plate 12 and cannot be seen from above the storage portion 10. Thereby, the beauty in the storage unit 10 is maintained, and small items such as pins can be prevented from falling into the pocket 14. Moreover, the cleaning property in the accommodating part 10 can also be improved.

  The weight member 13 is disposed on the near side from the center of the drawer 100 in the drawer direction. When the drawer 100 is a curtain plate storage type, the storage unit 10 is positioned on the near side of the center of the maximum length L that the drawer 100 can be pulled out, that is, on the near side of the center in the pulling direction. Therefore, by being installed in the pocket 14 provided on the back surface side of the bottom plate 12 of the storage unit 10, the drawer 100 is disposed closer to the front side than the center in the drawer direction. Thereby, a force acts downward on the drawer 100 immediately after the drawer 100 is pulled out. In particular, when the drawer 100 is provided below the user's elbow, the drawer 100 tends to be pulled upward. Even in such a case, the weight member 13 is arranged on the near side from the center of the drawer 100 in the drawer direction, thereby preventing the drawer 100 from being lifted and colliding with the mounting base 31 positioned directly above. it can. As a result, the operability of the drawer operation and push-in operation of the drawer 100 can be improved.

  The weight member 13 is disposed at a position where the center of gravity is the center in the width direction or substantially the center. As an example, a weight plate 13A is provided on the back surface side of the left bottom plate 12A of the left storage portion 10A in the pocket 14, and a weight plate 13B is provided on the back surface side of the center bottom plate 12B of the central storage portion 10B. A weight plate 13C is provided inside the right bottom plate 12C of the portion 10C. As another example, the weight plates 13A and C may be provided only in the left and right storage portions 10A and C, or the weight plate 13C may be provided only in the central storage portion 10B. Since the weight member 13 is composed of a plurality of weight plates, the weight member 13 can be easily disposed at a position where the center of gravity is at the center in the width direction or substantially at the center. By arranging in this way, the balance in the width direction is maintained when the user pulls out or pushes in the vicinity of the center in the width direction of the drawer 100. As a result, the operability of the drawer operation and push-in operation of the drawer 100 is maintained.

  4 and 5 show an example in which two weight plates are provided in each of the pockets 14 of the left storage unit 10A, the central storage unit 10B, and the right storage unit 10C. The number of weight plates provided inside the is not limited. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the weight plate may be provided with a bolt hole and fixed to the side wall of the pocket 14 with a bolt. Thereby, the shaking of the weight plate in the pocket 14 can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the generation of vibration and sound due to the shaking of the weight member 13 during the operation of the drawer 100.

[Effect of the embodiment]
A weight member 13 made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of a resin such as a metal is built in the drawer 100 formed of resin, whereby weight is given to the drawer 100. By applying weight by the weight member 13, more force is required for the operation of the drawer 100 than when the weight member 13 is not incorporated.

  The inventors measured and compared the force with which the drawer 100 was pulled out in the pulling direction when the weight member 13 was built into the drawer 100 and when the weight member 13 was not built into the drawer 100. For the measurement, a force gauge called push-pull gauge or push-pull scale was used. As a result, it was confirmed that the built-in weight member 13 required about twice as much force as the case without the built-in weight member 13. At this time, the weight member 13 having a weight ratio of 3: 7 with respect to the weight of the drawer 100 not incorporating the weight member 13 was used. Based on the measurement by the inventors, the weight of the weight member 13 that requires about twice as much force as the case where it is not incorporated is preferably the drawer 100 that does not incorporate the weight member 13. Is a weight satisfying a ratio of 3: 7 to 5: 5. That is, preferably, the weight of the weight member 13 is about 40% to 100% of the weight of the drawer 100 that does not incorporate the weight member 13.

  Since the force required to operate the drawer 100 is about twice that of the case where the weight member 13 is not built in, the weight feeling during operation increases even with a light resin drawer. Moreover, the sound quality of the sound when the drawer 100 is pushed into the wash cabinet 301 and the sound when the drawer 100 is pulled out is lowered. For this reason, it exhibits the same operational feeling as a drawer made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of a resin such as metal. As a result, even if it is a resin-made light drawer, the profound feeling and high-class feeling of drawer 100 increase.

  The weight member 13 is stored in a pocket 14 which is a storage space provided on the back side of the bottom plate 12 of the drawer 100, so that the weight member 13 and the weight member 13 can be seen from above the storage portion 10 in a state where the drawer 100 is pulled out. The pocket 14 in which the weight member 13 is provided is covered with the bottom plate 12. As a result, the weight member 13 can be prevented from falling, small articles can be prevented from falling into the pocket 14, and the cleaning property inside the storage unit 10 can be improved.

  Further, the weight member 13 is arranged at a position where the center of gravity is at or substantially the center in the width direction, so that the balance in the width direction when the drawer 100 is operated can be maintained and the operability can be improved. Further, the weight member 13 is disposed in front of the center in the pull-out direction, so that it is possible to prevent the weight member 13 from being collided with the mounting base 31 or the like that is lifted up when the drawer 100 is operated. As a result, the operability of the drawer 100 can be improved.

  As an example, the drawer 100 is provided in the wash cabinet 301 of the cabinet 300, and includes a curtain plate 101 that covers the front side of the wash bowl placed on the mount 31 just below the mount 31 of the wash bowl 305. It is a curtain plate storage type as a front plate. Since the drawer 100 is made of resin, it can be formed into a shape suitable for the space between the back of the curtain plate 101 and the wash bowl 305. Therefore, by providing the drawer 100 at this position, a space that becomes a dead space can be effectively used. Since the gap G between the curtain plate 101 and the mounting plate 31 immediately above is extremely narrow, a slide-type drawer with the curtain plate 101 as the front plate is highly likely to interfere with the mounting plate 31 during loading and unloading. On the other hand, by arranging the weight member 13 in the drawer 100, in particular, by arranging the weight member 13 in front of the center in the drawer direction, it becomes easy to pull out and push straight in the front direction. As a result, interference with the mounting base 31 is prevented, and operability can be improved. Further, since the weight member 13 is built in, a heavy feeling and a high-class feeling are exhibited, and the quality of the entire cabinet 300 is not impaired.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
